Basketball game turns to gunshots near SE Portland middle school

Portland police were called this evening to a local hospital, where a man showed up with a bullet wound in the leg shortly after police had responded to a report of gunshots in Southeast Portland.

Officers think the shooting victim, whom they declined to identify, was playing basketball on the grounds of Kellogg Middle School, 3330 S.E. 69th Ave. That's near where gunshots were reported at 8:17 p.m. An altercation between two groups near the school escalated into an exchange of gunfire, officers said.

Police found several shell casings on the 7000 block of Southeast Franklin Street near the school, and several vehicles appeared to have been hit by gunfire.
